I have read yesterday on another watch forum that a Rolex AD has now made it official that the 14060m has been discontinued.I know there are plenty bnib from AD's,but has production of this legend really ceased?

The GMT Master · 10 February 2012, 01:45 AM

No, it's still in the master catalogue and still readily available - the only ones taken out of this year's master catalogue (and not replaced) were the Turn-O-Graph and 18ct Yacht-Master. We will find out more next month at Baselworld

dddrees · 10 February 2012, 01:47 AM

ADs' dont dictate to Rolex and what Rolex will do. It works the other way around.

Tools · 10 February 2012, 01:50 AM

Exactly.......... an AD can't make anything "official".. all they could do is read (physically show you) what Rolex sends them...

Why is this subject on "14060M discontinued" coming again and again about every week ?

Here's the official discontinued list for 2012 :

The Leopard Daytona is dead! Long live the Leopard Daytona

I'm sure we will not know the true facts until Rolex releases them but I would highly doubt they will discontinue the Sub ND.....Christophe Thanx for the info!!!

There may be no official word yet but it's probably just a matter of time. Almost every other model in the sports line up has been updated over the last several years. I give it another year or two.

GradyPhilpott · 10 February 2012, 03:12 AM

The Sub has been updated, but not along the same lines as the Sub Date.

The rumors of the discontinuance of the Sub have been floating around for years and yet, it remains, and continues to be tweaked in the smallest of ways.

Nothing that has happened to the other watches in the professional series has any bearing on the Sub and history seems to have confirmed that the Sub stands in a class by itself and continues to have a substantial following.

Even so, no one knows but Rolex and they're not talking. Everything else is just speculation.

A stunning young brunette at an AD tried to give me the "it's discontinued" line also. My guess is a sales tactic.

NYC6 · 10 February 2012, 03:33 AM

When will some people finally figure it out. Car salesmen, watch salesmen..... most often, know less then the public.

This is a verity and it is why I study up so much on the products I buy.

When I ask a sales clerk a question, it's usually to test his integrity.

I really have to say, this is wisdom in action.

dcash0615 · 10 February 2012, 10:03 AM

Darn! I was planning on buying one soon to go with my leopard boxer shorts. I guess I better get on that right away

Thanks for clearing this up for me

...cos I panicked a little. Probably I'm getting a new random serial....

I panicked a but when I saw the post on another forum. Good to know it still lives on, at least for a few more time...

I already have a Z serial, but probably instead of keeping it and servicing it in a few months/years, I will probably sell it and get the newest random serial with parachrom hairspring

He has actually been spotted wearing one.

He's able to make it work for himself, me not so much.

padi56 · 13 February 2012, 10:05 PM

Well over the many years on this and other forums there have been more watches discontinued according to some ADs.I some times wonder Rolex has any models left to sell, today sadly its a fact some ADs often talk through where the sun don't shine

kahoot · 14 February 2012, 12:37 AM

It might not be discontinued but the AD are not able to order any so I don't know what is that all about ?
